David J. Pogue

David J. Pogue serves as a Buyer responsible for managing procurement activities centered on specialty chemical products and related manufacturing inputs. His role supports mission-critical supply chain needs by ensuring timely acquisition of industrial-grade materials through competitive contracting processes. He handles a diverse portfolio of solicitations under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, primarily for commercial off-the-shelf and custom-formulated chemical solutions. Pogue’s acquisitions are aligned with operational requirements in manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and formulation-dependent applications, requiring technical understanding of material specifications and regulatory compliance. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available, Pogue’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers and distributors of chemical products, including both large-scale industrial suppliers and small business vendors. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, vendor responsiveness, and compliance with federal acquisition standards, fostering transparent and efficient vendor partnerships across the supply chain. Pogue demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 43% of his awards directed toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, including Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts. His set-aside preferences reflect a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the chemical manufacturing sector, prioritizing small disadvantaged businesses while maintaining competitive integrity. His contracting patterns align with federal socioeconomic goals, ensuring broad vendor access and equitable opportunity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing) and 325998 (Miscellaneous Chemical Product Manufacturing), each accounting for 25% of his activity, followed by adhesive manufacturing (325520) and plastics resin production (325211). He routinely procures specialty formulations, industrial adhesives, coatings, and chemical precursors used in manufacturing and infrastructure applications, demonstrating technical fluency in material science and chemical product specifications. His expertise ensures acquisitions meet performance, safety, and regulatory benchmarks across industrial sectors.
